What defensive system can stop 20+ points on fastbreaks off of turnovers? The defense wasn't the problem - the offense was.

I guess you didn't watch tonight. Take those 20pts away and we still lose by 15. You better fuckin believe the defence was the problem. We couldn't hit a shot, but when that happens you gotta play D and this team just doesn't do that.

gameplan was awful. Raps should have just packed the paint. Everytime raps packed the paint charlotte was getting good looks from outside they werent making anything. Raps should have recognized this prior to the game.

Is he also an offensive genious setting up the greatest offensive scheme in the league?

Or wait... his defensive scheme is the problem.. but the credit for the offence goes to our players?

Fuck this double standard... it's the players who are dogging it on D and getting blown by or not coming over for the help/2nd help quick enough. We cannot start Calderon, Turk and Bargs. It's too crazy.

The players need to know who theyre guarding and how they score their points. If your guarding raymond felton and gerald wallace you don't need to play tight perimeter defence and instead give them better looks near the perimeter cause they can barely shoot the ball.

With a PG who is allergic to defense, can't take a charge and is not quick enough to impose his will offensively and a finesse front court whose center will rebound only if the ball falls on his lap what do we expect! I'm not denying Bosh had a bad game and frankly am indifferent to whether he stays or leaves but truth be told the core that we have is over hyped over paid and our role players are too inconsistent.

You make a good point because they really haven't done it 4 quarters in a row. I gotta wonder if they are in as good physical condition as they think. There is a real disturbing lack of energy in particular on back to backs and they even have trouble sustaining offensive energy for four quarters. Time to send these guys back to boot camp and work their butts again.

exactly - and there's no question they were tired. Unless they were throwing those bad passes on purpose, that was the effect of a very tired group of people. And not because of a back to back, check how (and where) many games they played in the past 12 days: Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, Toronto, Toronto, Toronto and Charlotte. 8 games in 12 days, all over North America, and a back to back against a very rested Charlotte team.
